  1. Just buy that station wagon they had a ZCon.
  2. My body shop screwed up my choke knob that was in perfect condition, and expoxed it back on. I did not know until working on the interior and needed to take the console out. Needless to say I was HIGHLY pissed. I found a "new" knob not in the same condition as the throttle knob (long story). So I cannot get the screw in because the threads in the screw are slightly messed up.
  3. I like it when Blue concurs. He's tired of the same old Nissan tired styling. It needs to end with the 370Z, and in the words of Carl Beck when the Z32 concept came out........"It's an ugly toad". It's time for retro, and back to basics with a twist. The 240Z was not style like other Datsuns, and so the new Z should not be style like other Nissans.
  4. Matsuo mentioned this at the 2013 convention.
  5. Nissan has gone full retard and shamed the name of Mr K again. Dumb jackasses should all be fired, fired I tell you!! The new Z should be a 2600 lbs advanced composite body 240Z with a 2.4 liter supercharged direct injection engine putting out 250+ hp. Almost no frills version. Lightweight like Lotus, with much more powerful engine. Furthermore it needs to look like a 240Z except with modern line, not that bull**** look they've been putting out.
  6. No factory air existed prior to the 260Z as far as I know.
  7. Les doesn't always respond or answer immediately. He's a great guy though, knows his ****! I've purchased a lot of stuff from him.
  8. And here I thought someone was trying something new.
  9. Why bother greasing the rear bearings when they last so long? Unless it's a daily driver they'll last over 40 years like mine.
  10. Thomas, your link is broken. What are you trying to show us here?
  11. Tomorrow is Enrique Scanlon's birthday.
  12. We might need to consider copyright on this. Better check the book for copyright markings.
  13. Too much.
  14. I think this is the one I have in storage, but it's missing at least the lower attachement hardware.
  15. I didn't think anyone still installed the twice-pipes exhaust system.
  16. Should you be using SM needles on a stroker?
  17. I think using poly in the differential mounts is a huge mistake, because it allows the vibration to be transmitted much easier into the cabin. Stiffening these mounts adds nothing beneficial to the cars handling quality. I have poly as well, but wasn't thinking at the time. It is clear to me know that it was a huge mistake. Using poly in your suspension is a good idea, but not so much in the drive train.
  18. Too bad he doesn't have V8 in his name.
  19. And a pic of you holding an SU.

    This is when Mr K was a young man. Look at the 510 wagon with whitewall tires. My dad's 510 4 dr sedan had those bias ply tires. They really sucked. I think he got 10,000 out of them or something. Horrible tires. Sears Roadhandlers by Michelin went on after.....world of difference.
  21. I want to hear more about why you chose those locations.
  22. Happy Birthday to our Admin, Mike.
  23. From what I've read over the years, the twice-pipes exhaust provides little benefit under most driving conditions over a large pipe exhaust. There is more pipe surface area to provide friction. It's not a V engine.
  24. Timken is top-notch.
